Halloween Party

Who knows why the ship was doing this. Maybe it was some kind of social experiment. Maybe Stacy was feeling festive and somewhere, out there, it was Halloween. Maybe the players just wanted to have Halloween fun. No one would ever know, would they.

In any case, what better place for a Halloween dance than a graveyard? In an area in the center, clear of headstones, there was a dance floor, and there were seats and tables with skeletal frames. Somehow grisly carved torches and jack-o-lanterns of varying sizes and shapes, cast enough eerie light to light up the place, despite the fact it was night. There were places to bob for apples, popcorn balls on strings strung up for people to try to eat for games involving that. The food tables will full of Halloweeny snacks and candy.

Far off, there was a haunted house, decrepit and foreboding. It seemed people could look into it if they dared sent down the dark trail to where it was. [ooc: Haunted house post link forthcoming].

Creepy--but danceable music was playing, from nowhere.

Perhaps most notable was the fact that the moment someone entered the Sensorium, they would find themselves in a costume. Sometimes these costumes would be what the character themselves would choose, but sometimes they'd be dressed as something strange, embarrassing, or just something they wouldn't even recognize. Leaving and coming back wouldn't fix the problem, in most cases. The costumes wouldn't change, and if they did, it wasn't guaranteed that they'd change to something better.

Whatever the case, party hard, Meatship. Somebody's got to teach the Vikings, draconians, aliens, and other sundry people to Thriller dance.

"Yeah. I mean, I'd rather look like a knight. Or maybe a pirate. Or maybe a Knight-Pirate. Yeah." Matt your nerdity is showing.

Matt laughed too, rubbing his head a little. "Yeah I make a terrible animal impersonator."

"You really can't do them both at the same time Matt," Katara said, though she definitely looked amused. "You might want to just stick with one."

She was curious though. "What do you think I'd have been good as? I guess I got strange mad scientist down."

Matt nodded at that. "Yeah, I just get out of hand sometimes."

Rubbing his chin, he thought up a possibility. "Well... I see you, dark skin, blue eyes, nice complexion... You'd make a fantastic Tia Dalma."

And he conjured up an image of Tia, the dusky skinned woman standing there, swathed in mystical bayou appearances.

She laughed. "As long as you don't go crazy, you'll be okay."

She looked at the imagine a moment, sort of seeing it yet not. "She certainly seems exotic enough," Katara said. "Do you think I'd be like that, all rustic and perplexing. Sounds more like a swamp bender thing..."

"I think you've got the charm down," said Matt as the image winked to life against a second image of a tall man in braids.

"Mmm and what do you seek dere upon dese shores Jack Sparrow?" purred Tia, leaning in towards the man who shuffled under her piercing gaze before it paused.

"In any case, I think you'd look absolutely stunning as Tia."

Katara wri9nked her nose. Okay, this was definitely not something that the two of them were going to agree on: there was no ways he thought she was anything like this lady. In fact, she reminded he a little of that one crazy one Aang told her about: the one that had her and Sokka suck on frogs.

"Um, have another choice?"
